Introducing the Authors

Introducing the author, R&R, better known as Regina Kamrud and Regina Sunderland! Hey, stop rolling your eyes mom.

Stop being a little smart ass Imp, but keep going your doing fine.

Until my mom can talk…better yet type straight, I shall introduce myself. Uhhum *clears throat* in the blue ink, Miss Regina Kamrud, She is sixteen years old and respectfully the Smart Alec of the year.

*laughs so hard has to run to the bathroom*

There went the typing straight Idea. I guess I shall continue. *looks at ceiling * Moms! But you’ve got love them.

Hey…Hey!

I love you, mommy. (Chester cat grin)

I love you too, Imp. And while I have a moments breathe.
I am Regina Sunderland and you’ve guessed it Regina’s mom. I am a 37-year-old freelance writer and artisan. As well as the voice of reason…I guess.

Hey! I have reason…at least I think I do. Plus my intro was funnier.

Yes, it was, and yes you do. That is the reason for this blog.

Yes it is. Okay I am going to be serious for a moment. Oh, please don’t have a heart attack! It can happen.

*clutches heart, gasps for breathe, then bursts out laughing* You see ever since Imp was little…

I’m still little…ish. *looks down at mom*

*ignores outburst and continues* She didn’t just ask me for something, she debated me for it. And come to think of it she was pretty good at it. It wasn’t a great surprise that she wanted to be a lawyer. Imp(Regina K.’s nickname) never does anything half way, be it amaze me, or drive me up the wall, so of course she chose Harvard as her preferred college/university. (I am still trying to figure that one out.)

Why not Harvard? It is the most prestigious, most expensive (down side) and the best law school there is.

And she has a point there. See what I mean? And Imp, I meant I was still trying to figure out how to pay for that one and find someone to sponsor you.

I knew what you meant, but did the readers? Ok, maybe they did. I just wanted to have some fun, plus I was quite for too long.

Anyways the point is, Imp and I have been discussing and debating subjects since she was knee high to a grasshopper.

How you can be knee high to a grasshopper me no know. Imp so big, grasshopper so tiny. *shrugs and ponders*

This may take a while.

Hey!

Love you.

Uhhu

Where was I? Ah yes, Imp and I debate serious subjects from teen pregnancies, immigration, and drugs to (I know this might not sound/look serious) the latest teen fashion.

Don’t even get me started on that. Girls if your skirt…

IMP!

Fine, I’ll save it for an article, but I will not be silenced.

Wouldn’t dream of It.*shakes head, keeps fingers crossed behind back, and tries to look innocent*

Oh, you can dream, but it won’t happen.

Can I have the floor for two minutes?

*sigh* I guess. *sniff, sniff*

I’ll make it short, Imp. Anyway, what I was trying to say is this. Teenagers are a great deal smarter then most adults give them credit for, and my Imp has proven that. All too often adults either silence their voices or don’t even listen to them, which is not the way to prepare them for the future. Imp and I may not always agree on everything, but I believe it would be great for parents and teens alike to read about the different views generations bring to the table. Tag Imp, You’re it.

Finally! No offense mommy.

*raises eyebrows*

Seriously…semi-seriously now, sure we debate back and forth, but the subjects are essential learning tools. My mom has written well over fifty articles, and quite a few of them are on parent-teen relationships, which give her more then enough experience on the subjects. There is also the fact that she is a parent of 3 teens, one of which she is still raising (that would be me). Whereas, my experience lies in school papers and poems, and the fact that I am a teen.
Now I know there are parents out there practically screaming at the computer “What a disrespectful little person.”

The word is brat, Imp, brat.

Thanks ma.

I love you. *evil grin* Oh, Imp, when you are done with what you want to say you might want to explain our ‘I love you’s.

I will. Anyways, I am not disrespectful parse just a Smart Alec. Remember that underlined word in the beginning of the introduction? I am respectfully, respectful, respect. See there it is. As for why we keep saying I love you to each other, it is just a polite way to say “Go fly a kite” (or an equivalent thereof). At times, we even get into, I love you arguments because I do not want to be disrespectful and mommy just wants to be nice. Depending on the tone of voice and expression an ‘I love you’ can mean anything from the actual meaning to “your in big trouble missy”.

All joking aside, we really do love each other. It is just a more civilized…

Civilized my…

IMP!!!

Butt, that is all I was going to say mommy. *flutters eye lashes and tries to look innocent*

Uhhu

What?! What could you possible think your cute, adorable, lovable…

Imp get to the point. *gives the mother look*

Fine, this blog is for you dear readers. Remember, here every voice is heard no matter how quite. Hey, that could be our motto.

Fine with me.

Great! One last thing, we are not mind readers. At least I’m not. So please tell us what you think and what issues you would like us to cover. Plus, we do give advice to the best of our abilities.

Oh, Imp and I have decided to keep this blog open. Therefore, you can comment and even start a discussion of your own. However, this blog will remain friendly and in the form of a debate. All verbal abuse and rudeness will be dealt with severely. Please remember: both adults and teens are equal in this blog.

Goodbye for now,

Regina Sunderland & Regina Kamrud
